Step 1: Make friends in far-right circles and their preferred political parties and spread propaganda to impressionable low-IQ rubes under the guide of patriotism in your target country.

Anonymous should launch bot farms where the bots are saying "You are not a true patriot and lover of your country until you are picking up litter from the street and helping a lady cross the street and buying books for children and voting for politicians who practice love for your fellow man" Eventually all of social media gets filled with love and people being nice to each other and the money the bad guys are spending to spread propaganda goes to waste.

Pretty sure that would turn into bots competing everywhere, filling the internet. You also probably can’t outspend a world power when it comes down to processing power. To be honest, as I’m writing this, it feels like this would be a fun way to burn the whole system down 🤷‍♂️

Lets be real, they're also in far-left circles. I've seen it personally and investigations have confirmed it. H******* lefties suddenly parroting Kremlin talking points on Ukraine, with a pro-peace flavor. Anyone already radicalized is an easy target because they already have the reflex to process information on an ideological base, not a factual one.

You are not alone. Magagas aren't the only people who voted against their own interests. Many third-party and protest voters and couch abstainers, who think that they're immune to such manipulation, aren't. Cambridge Analytics's methods work on enough people to swing elections.

Russia is such a Zombie of a country. At least in USSR times, they stood for something that IN THEORY had some merit ( spoiler : they were shit at it ). Now, they stand for nothing at all other than hate, destruction, terror and complete disdain for life. They have nothing worthwhile to fight for, only their own greed and arrogance. But for some reason they feel like they have to mess with the world. What a sad hollowed out husk of a country.

Imagine being a spy defending a bunch of oligarchs who would happily send you or your family to a trench to have your legs blown off. If I was smart enough to be a Russian spy, I would slip out of that country and take a nice cushy job in IT and raise my family in peace and happiness in some other country.

They do, but they tend to get killed by their former colleagues in very obvious ways.

This assumes you can actually escape with your family vs. leaving them behind and having them targeted by the government as leverage against you. And I imagine there are lots of Russians who would just as easily say “imagine being an American spy defending a bunch of billionaire interests.”

Westerners really don't grok the nature of russian people. It's literally their will. They need a czar-daddy no matter what. If they gotta suffer for it, so be it.

I would hope it would. Hackers and election meddlers from russia have been a scourge to the rest of the world for a while now. I'd imagine they'll continue for a while though and this shows they are streamlining those efforts.

Dems should send a group to learn a thing or two. They are so far behind.
